Sorry BZ if you don't like ZB, but how about converting to ZB? A lot of Invisionfree forums are considering or in the progress of converting to Zetaboards, and plus, the IF community is dwindling...

Well I know if I did convert then I would lose this skin and this shoutbox as it's not usable with ZB forums.

I can't exactly pull a skin out of nowhere and way too many like the shoutbox including myself to give it up for what doesn't amount to much of anything I want right now hence why I been against converting as this was brought up once before by Leon.

You could always have the skin converted :/

But yeah, I think that the shoutbox is too integral for Rapture to lose, tbh.

You are right about the skin as that on its own makes me not eager to go for it but the shoutbox not being usable on ZB is killing any support I would have for converting.

From what I read from the guy who made it, he wasn't able to get it to work on ZB and isn't working on it at this time so I doubt I see it work anytime soon and ZB hasn't' gotten the promised shoutbox add on working yet and I am not expecting them to get it workign for a while as there is clearly something big holding them back form adding that feature in.

Lol I was just about to make a topic asking why you didn't make this forum on ZB cause you're so fond of it. :P But you have given your reasons, I think they're good ones so I'll rest my case. ;p

lol good you saw this first as otherwise you would have been the third person to make a topic about that.

At the time, I wasn't' fond of ZB hence why this is on IF. I later on found the shoutbox code the board uses now and I wouldn't part with that for anything sort of what I have now.

My last board used a cbox which isn't as good because I don't have control over it like I do with this one that we use now unless I pay for it.

I think I will pin this one so everyone sees it and spares them the wasted time in making more of these sorts of topics in here.

Let me finish AMG Paradise, and then I'll see about working on a shoutbox code for ZB. I've learned a bit about the jQuery code that is used.

That would be great if you could make a shoutbox code like this one for Zetaboards.

But didn't ZetaBoards staff themselves promise their own shoutbox in ZB itself?..like, integrated with ZB and whatnot. I could have sworn they did.

They promised it but they take forever to do anything. god only knows when they ever get that working. Then again they promised people they would fix the directory for years and yet it's still broken.

They also promised a IF-ZB skin converter as well also.

However, that appears to be in the same boat with the other empty promises made by them.

That's why I am not depending on them for anything as they are hardly dependable for promises like features just for uptime and usability.

I do know though that I won't have to worry about being forced to move the board because the host fails like what spreebb did( it was the host for my old writing board.

The SB does work on ZB...just not where we want it (It's on the portal, if I remember correctly.)

It'll take a bit of time, but I am going to try to play with the code on a ZB test board to see if I can get it to work.

No rush as I don't plan on ever hitting the convert button without the shoutbox code seen here as a functioning code on a ZB board.

Portal is a pointless place to put a shoutbox and besides who goes into the portal? lol

You'd be surprised. I happen to know quite a few people who would rather spend time staring at a page that didn't matter than post on the forum.

I have diagnosed those people as anything but normal.

I remember BZ saying that Madgal was scared to move onto Zetaboards when this same issue was addressed on MadAds. =/
But, I kinda like this skin so if it wasn't converted, I think Rapture would lose a lot. :D

If BZ already has his activity going ,converting will only put it into a coma for a while once it finishes. Converting isn't like a CSS generator, the people who run ZB/IF do it manually, and it might take a while before they get to your board.

Plus ZB isnt required for this forum IMO. There's more IF Codes than ZB Codes to enhance the board if BZ chooses to,and some of those features on ZB you can put into your board wrappers on IF. They were just being nice by saving us coding space,tbh.

I think you should just close all topics related to the ZB conversion and just link them to a sticky in the Suggestion Box... it's asked so often that even I, who isn't a constant visitor of Rapture, is annoyed by all of the constant questions about it.
